Eve was raised in rural Alaska with the wilderness at her doorstep, where she naturally learned to value self-reliance, pragmatism, and an enduring respect for nature. Whether she is tending to her garden, preserving food for her family, preparing healthy meals, or planning adventures and solving problems with her husband, Eve is a force whose sunny disposition inspires others to appreciate and enjoy life every day.

In addition to gardening, Eve loves baby goats, making cheese, foraging for food to preserve, finding new ways to tame her daughter’s beautiful wild hair, spending as much time in the kitchen as possible, and teaching her children to love and respect the homestead lifestyle as much as she does.

Eve’s cookbook, Homestead Kitchen: Stories and Recipes from Our Hearth to Yours features 85 original family recipes and advice on gardening, preserving, and foraging. Her recipes and stories are a source of encouragement to anyone who would like to bring a little homestead into their own lives.
